Coming Up Roses

I'm coming up roses now
flying high
no one can touch me
as I wave goodbye
I'm tall as a willow
I'm sure not sorry for that
You wouldn't believe the stuff I know
And have collected
I'm hung up on breathing now
When I want
No one can hurt me
When I'm in trouble
I'm strong as I'm mellow baby
Strong as I'm mellow
I sure am happy for that
Have you ever seen the things I own
and have neglected
They're quite strange
and unconnected
and that's why they're strong
A mile is long when home is far away
Coming up Roses now flying high
A mile is long when home is far away
Home is far away
I'm holding the fiddle now
Playing hard
I've learnt my lesson
In self composure
I shout and I bellow baby
Shout and I bellow
can you hear me out back
Can you feel the way I've grown
and disconnected
A mile is long when home is far away
Coming up Roses now flying high
A mile is long when home is far away
Home is far away
the night is long the day is long
the night is long the day is long

A first thought come to the Sound
and it filled itself with Spectrum
So it can see from the back of its head
It can sense the shifting moods
How little the first thought knows
Its intentions its code of honour
till its formed with cunning humour
feel the beat fall in
It did that to spite me
throw me off the scent
feel the beat fall in
Then a second leg came from the Sound
When if I just don't deliver
the queen bee the enemy the ectasy
A beast at the core of its nature
A beast at the core of its nature
